The German rail and transport trade union EVG is calling for the resignation of DB Cargo CEO Sigrid Nikutta. EVG believes that Nikutta is leading the rail freight operator \u201cinto the abyss.\u201d<\/strong>
\n<\/span>EVG has turned directly to the new CEO of Deutsche Bahn, Evelyn Palla, and Supervisory Board Chairman Werner Gatzer with an appeal to remove Nikutta from her position. \u201cNikutta’s track record is devastating \u2013 over 3,1 billion euros in losses since she took office speak for themselves\u201d, wrote EVG Vice President and Deputy Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board Cosima Ingenschay.<\/p>\n

The trade union is highly critical of the path that DB Cargo has taken by selling off assets, laying off personnel and outsourcing services. \u201cThe consequences are dramatic: declining quality, poor punctuality, and growing uncertainty. [DB] Cargo urgently needs a strategy for business development, not for business execution\u201d, EVG says.<\/p>\n
